Page 2 - FORCE AND ITS TYPES _MUSCULAR, MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL_

INTRODUCTION

 Living things can move by themselves.
 Non- living things cannot move by themselves.
 There should be a force to make them move.
 To drive a bicycle, we apply force with our feet to produce motion.

 Thus we can say that force is required in producing motion in the body. For example the
box does not move although the push of the person tends to move it.

FORCE

 A push or pull acting on an object is called a force.
 For example:

1. Pulling a rubber band.

2. Kicking a football or throwing a ball

3. We pull or push the door to open or close it.
